Tensor Canvas 🎨

A 2D graphics library for drawing directly onto tensors.
Uses eagerpy to support a uniform API for pytorch, tensorflow, jax, and numpy backends. Tensor Canvas uses SDF representations for easy implementation in gpu-accelerated frameworks.
Highly inefficient compared to standard gpu rendering, but much better than matplotlib. Integration with ML frameworks also means it is fully-differentiable.

Installation

pip install tensor-canvas
